Two-year contract

Location:

Fully remote, with access to national co-working spaces. In-person delivery is required across metropolitan and regional locations.

Young Change Agents (YCA) is a national not-for-profit social enterprise that equips young people aged 10-25 with the entrepreneurial mindset, skill set and toolset to create their own futures. Over the past 10 years, we have grown from a grassroots idea into a leading force in purpose-driven entrepreneurial education, reaching over 220,000 young people across Australia and internationally. With a strong foundation (1,900 schools across Australia and 4,400 educators), a co-designed program suite, a talented team and a national reputation, we are now poised to scale our reach to 2 million young people by 2030 and beyond.

We believe entrepreneurial skills are one of the best ways to teach agency (the ability to shape the future) in a world that's changing faster than the system can keep up.

The role

The Delivery Manager is responsible for planning, managing and reporting on all aspects of our projects. They make sure the experience for students, educators, facilitators and supporters upholds the promise, obligations and opportunities of our work.

Working with a small yet mighty team, under direction from the CEO, this role leads and coordinates delivery within approved programs, budgets, funding agreements and YCA's strategy.
